Abstract:Statistical power is one of the key indicators for assessing the robustness and replicability of research results. However, the standardization and completeness of calculating and reporting statistical power in event-related potential (ERP) studies still need improvement. This paper reviews and summarizes the factors influencing statistical power, methods for calculation, and application examples in ERP studies. It aims to provide researchers with a reference for calculating and reporting statistical power during the design or pre-registration stages of ERP research plans.
